US Army civilian stabs burglar in Landstuhl, German police say

Usually burglaries here in germany are very professional and like everything else in germany industrialised. Usually well organised groups who look for villages near an highway exit and then check for empty houses to go through. After a few houses they leave through the highway. They usually check weeks in advance when if someone is home and come back after ppl left for work. So usual hours are monring to lunch time. This is highly unusual that this was a group who all failed to noticed that someone is home who also decided to go in at night.

Nah, they are hardly ever germans. Most of the burgled gangs are conning from Poland and Romania, conning over to rob, than make their escape so that it becomes extremely difficult for the German authorities to get them.

Not really. right after Turkish citicens, Polish and eastern europeans are the highest on the list of foreign criminals, and at least the reports that come regularly in TV about this speaks mostly of Polish and Romanian groups. There are also other groups, but these two are the one that are most active.

Well, you have a bunch of 1st time Germans that may not be familiar with burglary regulation. It looks like in the article that burglaries spiked in the area after the waves of 1st time Germans started in 2016.
